Hawkeye netted another group of thugs and turned to look over at her.
"I was under the impression we should stay for the after party."
He said in a very sarcastic tone. He then motioned for her to lead the way.

The Black Bat attached the Athena's Mind onto her utility belt, knowing it would be safer there than in her hands with all the approaching guards. She took down a number of them with several chops and kicks, but more kept coming. She ran to the stairwell and waited for Hawkeye to join her as she looked up toward the ceiling.
"Wanna wrap those big, strong arms around me?" she asked as she went for her grappling hook.

Hawkeye used a net arrow to net a few more thugs and then fired a stranger one an electrical net below them in the staircase so no one else would follow and then grabbed onto her.
"No objection here."

The Black Bat threw a smoke bomb down at her and Hawkeye's feet before shooting the grappling hook, which sent them up the middle of the stairwell and to the roof. Once on top, she leaned over and kissed Hawkeye on the cheek.
"Thanks for your help, love," she said. "But now I have to get this back into the right hands." Suddenly a helicopter flew down. Before the Black Bat could react, a ray shot from a cannon, hitting and temporarily paralyzing her. The helicopter landed, and several heavily armed goons stepped out, followed by Rupert Thorne Silvermane himself. He was an aging, heavyset man in a silver dress suit, and with flowing, silver hair, hence his name.
"You so-called superheroes think everything's so easy, don't you?" he said. "Nothing is easy when you cross Silvermane. Now unless you want the girl to be hurt, you'll keep those arrows off that bow and follow me inside!"

Hawkeye looked at them and shook his head. He was never one to be taken captive especially not by some hired thugs who didn't know the first thing about combat. He could use this though having a few smoke pellets in his belt pouch. He put his hands behind his back putting the small pellets between each of his fingers. He then raised his hands.
"Alright lets take it easy..."
He was waiting for just the right moment hoping Silvermane himself would get in the middle. He kept the smoke pellets hidden inbetween the gloves the pellets were green as well blending in.

"Remove the Athena's Mind from her belt," ordered Silvermane to one of his goons. The goon did so as Silvermane looked at Hawkeye. Silvermane was up there in years, and knew the tricks of the game, from both friends and foes. "Hands where I can see them. I wouldn't do anything foolish if I were you. One slip-up or distraction and the Athena's Mind could be dropped. Then, not only would one of the most powerful devices in the world be destroyed, but us along with it. The Mind contains highly combustible elements after all."

Hawkeye merely kept his hands up and didn't budge a inch. He then saw the goon coming towards Black Bat. He couldn't let it fall into the wrong hands if this device was as powerful as they seemed to think he may have to come back for the girl. The goon who had it was his target he had a few options: 1. Drop the pellets take back Athena's mind and leave the girl for late, 2. Get the girl and run instead. 3. Both drop the pellets, take out guard attack line to girl let her go free and leave yourself kidnapped. He didn't like any of the outcomes either way they were screwed.
"You know I find it hard to believe that technology can truly rule after all one virus and its all downed. So what makes this so damn special? you sure were intent on keeping it guarded granted not the best thugs I ever fought not the worst either. So whats it for?"
Hawkeye said as he inched closer to Black bat and the group of goons keeping his hands up but the pellets hidden.

"If you'll follow me, my friend, I'll show you and the world why it's so special," smiled Silvermane. He then order one of his goons to pick up Black Bat, who was conscious, but unable to move or speak.

Hawkye lowered his hands putting the pellets in his pouch again. He then followed Silvermane he was curious to see what he had planned.
"I suppose no harm in being the audience"

Once in the lab, The Black Bat began to recover as Silvermane had the Athena's Mind reinstalled.
"Now, my friend," he said to Hawkeye. "You would like to know why the Athena's Mind is so important? With it's advantaged technology, I, like the goddess Athena, will have unlimited wisdom... cybernetic knowledge of what goes on in all the world's computers!" He then sneered at Black Bat. "Fortunately it will pick up where it left off before you disconnected it, my dear. It will be fully operational in under as minute... once I put in the password of course."
Black Bat staggered over to Hawkeye, with a guard grabbing her. But before he pulled her away, she whispered to her ally, "Saw those pellets you had in your hands. Wait for my signal."

Hawkeye's hands went behind his back again as he began to pull them and hide them in between his fingers. He then looked over at her and nodded.
"So you get access to any computer all over the world right?"

"And soon will be able to control them!" laughed Silvermane. "And once you've ruled the world's computers, you rule the world itself." The Athena's Mind then fully downloaded into the system. "Ah, magic time! Now for the password!" He put it in, but instead of it activating, the Athena's Mind shut down, along with most of the power in the building. "What happened?" He turned and sneered at the Black Bat. "What did you do to it, you little witch?"
"Now!" Black Bat shouted to Hawkeye as she laid out the two guards holding her with chops to the jugular.

Hawkeye threw down the smoke pellets the entire room flooding with smoke thankfully he had good vision and took out the guards around him with ease. He then listened into the area for any other sounds so he could find black bat and Silvermane.

Silvermane pulled out a gun, willing to shoot at anyone who got near him. He reached over for the Athena's Mind, only to find it was gone.
"I got the Mind, Handsome," said Black Bat to Hawkeye. "The fat man's all yours!"

Hawkeye heard Black Bat as he fired a tesla arrow at Silvermane aiming to take him down for the moment. Waiting for Black Bat's next cue.

Black Bat used her memory of the place's layout.
"There's a rear exit to the right," she said. "Once outside, I'll alert my superiors to call in the authorities. Doesn't look like Jelly Belly here's going anywhere."

Hawkeye nodded and headed towards the door.
"Then lets get the hell out of here."

Once outside, Black Bat alerted S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Help is on the way, Handsome," said Black Bat, who then kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you. Oh, we never did introduce ourselves."

Hawkeye looked around as the thugs seemed to all have given up or been knocked out.
"Hawkeye pleasure."

"Black Bat, always at your service," smiled Black Bat. A helicopter then showed up and lowered a ladder. "This is my ride I'm afraid. Gotta get the Mind back to it's 'daddy'. I'm sure we'll be seeing one another again."
